medium of advertising it is.

land sales here within six weeks and
made both a success beyond the
hopes of the property holders, left

he makes in a busine.-s like manner.

Does Union have a Sabbath has been
a question iu my mind and one
that has had to be answered in the negative*
The carrying of Ice cream to the
train, the numerous cigars that come
out of the drug stores, the books and
papers that come from where they hip
kept, the amouut of sweet meats leaving
the doors of the candy kitchen, the numerous
bundles passing through the streets,
the increasing number of bootblacks that
occupy the highways, the people that
throng our streets at the hour of public
worship, all speak lo uler than tongue or
pen, that in Union as a town the I/rrd's
day is not observed.
As Mrs. Taj lor was out at her work
in China a man bQoeht a tract, from 1 er
He read it and believed the doctrine was
good, but laid the tract aside and thought
nj more of it for some time. His wife
died. In his sorrow he remembered the
tract which led him to learn more about
the good news aud when it sunk deep
into his heart he decided to close his
shop doors on Sunday aud apply for baptism.
Shall we who have God's of en
word before us lie less wise in observing
the Lord's day than this Chinaman?
The question put, why has Union such
a bad name outside of its borders, to a
prominent citizen was answered with,
"I do not know; I caunot tell why it is.''
I thiuk.the followiug quotation from the
Bible will tell the whole story, "Them
that honor me I will honor." "We
itlill nnt r.,ro.bu I ??? ''-.JH

lias not been the rule of action in our
"growing commercial town. As 1 sat in
the House of God on Thanksgiving Day,
it pained mo to think the children were
not being trained to be good, true Christian
citizens of our Union. How pleasant
it would have been to God's ear to
have heard the children uniting their
voices with those who are on the downward
hill of life when we sang that good
old song, "My Country, 'Th of Thee."
I fear if It were not for the good teachers
of our public schools there would be
many a child who knew next to nothing
about Thanksgiving day with the exception
of having a big dinner.
At the House of God twenty-six seats
were occupied by twenty-two peoplp,
not a child among the numbei; the whole
company numbered seventy.live, among
these were six rfjildren From the oulpit
we heard the minister read the prayer
of David found in Psalm 144:11, and the
reason given for making the request:
"That our sons may be as plants grown
up in their yo?th, that our daughters
may be as corner stor.es, polished after
the similitude of a palace " This seldom
will be the case if children are allowed
to neglect the House of God on Sundays
and disregard tha only da? set apart by
the nation for public worship.
Blessed is that nation whose God is
the Lord. In a few years the children
of today will be the nation of tomorrow.
Tne collection for Connie Maxwell
Orphanage was small to what it would
have been if all who are connected with
the three churches had been present in
company with their cnildren and have
done as well as one poor widow woman
who sent in a penny for each of her five
children, one being sick, one under the
weather, two in the mil), the least with
no shoes to go to Sunday School. She
thought of the future and wanted her

blessedness of giving.
"Stop, look and listen." Enoch
walked with God and was not, for God
took him. Soon we will be not, and
will our journey end in Heaven or will
Satan conduct us to his home, while the
children are left behind to follow on
later? Let us be wise that our thoughts
may turn us unto God's testimonies.
Then what about the dispensary bottles?
If we must have the dispensary, is
there not some way that can be devised
whereby we will not have its bottles
thrown broadcast over our town? The
drops out of the dispensary bottles have
made two little children under six, that
I know of, tipsy and how many more
only God knows. Cannot something be
done to protect those who know not
their right band from their left? Let
the town follow David's example and
Miss Francis E. Willard's advice and
soon we shall have such a name abroad
that will cause us to lift up our hearts in
grateful praise unto the hills from
whence our help cometh.
DANGER.
FRANCIS , WILLARD.
Write it on the workhouse irate.
Write it on the schoolboy's slate,
Write it on the copy book,
That the young may often look,
4i Where there's drink, there's danger."
Write it on the churchyard mould,
Where the rum-slaid dead are found;
Write it on the gallows high,
Write for all the passers by,
'Where there's drink, there's danger."
Write it on the nation's laws,
Blotting out the license clause;
Write it on each ballot white,
So it can be read aright,
"Where there's drink, there's danger."
